About the Show

Georgina Burns' first produced full-length play exploring failings in the mental health care system.

Mental health therapist Lydia has given up her comfortable job in private practice to work at Ravenscourt – where treatment is made available to society's most vulnerable. Her work with Daniel – a young man who has depression & issues with anger – feels genuinely worthwhile. But as Lydia settles into the job, she realises how much the system is broken and the uphill climb that would be required to get Daniel the support he needs.

Hampstead Theatre’s Associate Artist Tessa Walker directs.

Critic Reviews (4)

"The play’s understated drama is both its strength and its weakness. We walk away believing in its issues entirely but perhaps don’t feel its tragedy as fully. Either way, it is clear that Burns has great promise."

"There’s too much contrivance here to convince, and the play never properly gets to grips with its vitally important topic."

"Burn's play is written with enormous sensitivity and emotional intelligence."
